Synchronize the time on ESX 3.5 hosts

Hello

Currently, we use Windows Time service for time synchronization, but are trying to get away from that and use VMware tools time synchronization function. We strive to set up and use NTP on the hosts (which are ESX 3.5 Update2). Anyone can guide me please the documentation that would be the process to do so.

I have relevΘ the article on http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1339 on installing and configuring NTP on VMware ESX hosts. What I have to use this or has anyone used successfully the feature "Time Configuration" in the CR to synchronize time? What would be the route recommended two methods?

Here are some notes I made while putting my systems.

Configure NTP on ESX host

Use the Console of the VIC

It works on ESX 3.5 (not on ESX 3.02, those need modified .conf)

First, select the check box for the configuration of the client:

Appointment VI client under the Configuration-> Configuration of time tab, click the properties link, check the box 'NTP Client activated' under the NTP Configuration section, click on the Options button and select start and stop with the host in the general section.

Then:

1. Select the Configuration tab, and then in the software pane choose time

Configuration

2. click on properties... option on the right side of the VI Client

3. in the Configuration at the time of the dialog box, select the Options... button

4. in the dialog box options (noted) NTP server, select general and then click the Start button

5. in the dialog box options (noted) NTP server choose Add

6. Enter the IP addresses or domain services FULL name NTP with that you want to synchronize

1.2.3.4 Server2

  • Set the time of ESX host

    Hello

    before that I have to download free 5.6 OPs of the trial, I used OPs 5.0.3 (Free Trial) in your Docs is States:

    "Time of the ESX host and the vCenter Server must be synchronized.

    In the Configuration without any server NTP tab I put a time but when go to Putty and connect to the host, and write the command 'date', the time is different from what I put.

    2 is it possible that I put the analytical UI VM and VM timezone to my zone schedule without host adjustment? (is this true?) (Is it that enough, I just set time zone of PAHO)

    Please help me

    Hello

    You must set the parameters of your ESXi host NTP.

    There is no timezoned in ESXi I know.

    Make sure when you look through the settings of Date and time on the ESXI host right now is what should be based on your local time.

    Let the time vC Ops to UCT. That should ensure the VAPP have the same time as the ESXI host.

    When you start the TIME you can check the time on the virtual computer is the same as hosts yoru.

    Do you mean check NTP settings on each host or real time on each host?

    This is not possible, I'm afraid (AFAIK).

  • How to disable the time synchronization in a VMware customer?

    Hello!

    Could someone please tell me how could stop a VMware customer of time synchronization? I'm using VMware Workstation 9.

    I added these settings to the .vmx file:

    tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.tools.enable = "FALSE"
    time.synchronize.resume.host = "FALSE"

    Unfortunately, when I start the PC it will synchronize time. If the PC is running, and I got a break, after that it will not synchronize the time, until I restart it. My hypothesis is, that in the BIOS of the client synchronizes time somehow.

    Could someone tell me how can I disable it and completely disable the time synchronization?

    Thank you!

    To start a virtual machine, it chooses the moment the host using unless you specify something with this option:

    rtc.startTime = "1089395200".

    See my notes at sanbarrow.com

    in WS 10, we have a little more settings that you may need to define - haven't tested them yet:

    Time.Synchronize

  • How to synchronize the start time in the waveform graph

    Hi all

    I just find a solution in the forum to select the data you want in a grap of waveform with cursors, however, I don't know how to synchronize the time of beginning of waveform for the second graph. How can I extract start time of the waveform with the index data?

    Something like that?  It is a bit gross, but is what I think you're asking, should be able to use it as a starting point.

    The Max - Min is to make sure that the cursor is always valid.

  • Ability of blackBerry Smartphones to synchronize the network time has been lost

    Hello world

    Until very recently, I had the possibility to synchronize the time with the BlackBerry network and the mobile network (3 Australia). Both worked fine as I Express put an incorrect time, and then synced with both of them.

    This now seems to have stopped as his network saying time is not available.

    I tried turn this option off and turned on, tried a battery pull, searched everywhere I see etc.

    Is there anything else that could affect the ability to synchronize the time with the network

    Thank you

    Interesting. I went just manually the phone 2 g (because I was doing a long call in a 3G area low and I didn't want to cut out), and when I turned it to 3G and 2G was back at the time of the network.

  • Resync time VM ESX vs for svMotion?

    Does anyone know if a VM sync time to adjust to the host not only during vMotion, but also when you do svMotion, for example when DTS is involved?

    In the KB of disabling time synchronization (1189) is mentioned only vMotion:

    "In Control Panel of VMware Tools, the time synchronization check box is not selected, but you may experience these symptoms:

    • When you pause a virtual machine, the next time that you resume this virtual machine, it synchronizes the time to adjust to the host.
    • Time is resynchronized when you migrate the virtual machine using vMotion, take a snapshot, restore a snapshot, reduce the virtual disk or restart the service of VMware Tools in the virtual machine (including the virtual machine restart). »

    And is there a documentation of this is in addition above Ko?

    Yes, svMotion causes a synchronization of the time with the host as well.

    In ESXi terms there is what is called stun/unstun cycles, which occur during the operations of creation/deletion of snapshots, vMotion or svMotion. That's what mentions the Ko, but he just missed svMotion in the list. Each of these stun/unstun cycle triggers a synchronization time with the host country, unless you disable the advanced settings.

  • About the time OS VMotion

    I have two ESX machine, each machine at different times.

    When I do a vmotion to a Windows 2003 on ESX to another BONE get the new time of ESX and does not preserved during the OS.

    I have vmware tools installed on the operating system and I checked the «synchronize the time...» "option.

    It takes a few minutes until the time sync OS via the domain controller.

    A way to fix it?

  • Order to internal model with cRIO, synchronization of time loop

    Hello

    I work with control design Simulation & toolkit and I want to implement an internal model control to a real-time target. I want to implement my simulation (as an attachment) to the real target (cRIO-9024 OR cRIO-9112). I removed the transfer function of the process, I broke the line and I added my input/output of the cRIO modules. I put a 1ms, Euler ode solver step size and synchronize the time loop. Unfortunately it does not work properly. The loop decreased the speed a lot and I can't get 1 ms response time and, finally, a good answer for my system. This means that I can not 1ms response for loop? What is the problem of the computer, windows or hardware real-time or software? Simple or I did something wrong? All the advice you will enjoy.

    Kind regards
